"He's outside, half-sick with fright, because he is afraid. Afraid of you," she added, and went out, her silks rustling in the quiet corridor. She had gone away soon after that, the nurse informed him. And toward dawn Clayton left Audrey in the sick room and found Graham. He was asleep in a chair in the waiting-room, and looked boyish and very tired. Clayton's heart contracted.
It is a feat that requires a good man to perform, and the strain was very great. Grimly he kept at it, and drew nearer and nearer to the top. Then, at last, a hand seized him; half-sick with over-exertion, he struggled out and fell gasping to the ground. For a minute or two the universe was turning round with him.
I own a mining property, a good one, out West. It needs a financial manager, and needs one badly. You come with me, do you hear! I'll place you where you fit, before I get through with you, and I'll make you a rich man in ten years. There! now will you say yes?" I shook my head. "No," I said. "NO! You are enough to drive a well man crazy, to say nothing of a half-sick relic like me.
He did not know that her mother was so worn out from the journey, and so embarrassed by unaided efforts to get settled while still caring for her half-sick child, that she had decided to make a slight and hasty repast in her own room. Miss Wildmere cared little for what took place behind the scenes, but was usually superb before the footlights.
Would you mind won't you kiss me good-by, Louise, and can you miss me one little bit?" "A thousand thanks, little one!" exclaimed Louise. "How droll you are!

Mr. Patterson was half-sick and wholly miserable all the way.
Here is a sample: I am dressing Sam Dammer's shoulder; and, having cleansed the wound, look about for some strips of adhesive plaster to hold on the little square of wet linen which is to cover the gunshot wound; the case is not in the tray; Frank, the sleepy, half-sick attendant, knows nothing of it; we rummage high and low; Sam is tired, and fumes; Frank dawdles and yawns; the men advise and laugh at the flurry; I feel like a boiling tea-kettle, with the lid ready to fly off and damage somebody.
The last move was too much for the half-sick boy. Freddy's head began to turn, his legs gave way he reeled down to the floor, and, white and senseless, lay at Dan's feet.
Whenever we shifted camp the exertion among the half-sick caused our sick-roll to double next morning, and it took at least three days, even when the shift was for but a short distance, before we were able to bring up the officers' luggage, the hospital spare food, the ammunition, etc.
"I understand," said Phyllis here. "You were 'half-sick of shadows. I went through that myself. There comes a time when you'd do anything." "You understand?" asked Joy with wide eyes, "you with a husband that adores the ground you walk on?"
At last he had to give in. "All sorts in free!" he called at the top of his voice. Celia and Gerald appeared smiling and unruffled. They refused to divulge their hiding-place. "We'll save it until next time," said Celia. Bobby blinded his eyes and counted. He had no interest in the game, and experienced inside himself a half-sick, hollow feeling unique in his experience.
